Particularly not FFVII Re-Milk the Fanboys.

Wake me up when they remake 9 or actually give us an FFVI port that does the SNES version proper justice.

If he played it you'd say he was hate-playing. Moreover why would anyone with a functional brain spend money on something they don't expect to enjoy?

The good old "You need to be welcoming, inclusive and understand/accept people's opinions" point of view

but when they dont agree with it

"OK but not THAT opinion !"

You dont know what that word means.

In before inevitable thread closure.

OP is probably a troll since the series is famous/infamous even among people who don't play FF for being populated by pretty boys and the super flamboyant Amano art which has been with the series since its third entry in the west. There's no way they don't know that if they had played all the games they claim.

Plus this game itself has had freaking Jandelaine and Haurchefant for over a decade now.

When literally every post someone has made is a culture war post, yea, it's safe to say they're not to be taken seriously.

Final Fantasy has always had questionable crossdressing pretty boys, strong female characters, diverse casts of characters and somehow none of it was ever a problem in the past.

Gamers have become such whiny snowflakes nowadays, it's tiresome

It only became a problem when activists refused to acknowledge them and kept asking for them...

Even the most popular game in franchise, FF7, it's always had Tifa and Barret. "But where are all the strong female character and Black people?!"

It's just that his art is heavily intertwined with the games, as the devs for the series have wanted it to be.

So the first Amano art to show up with a game state side was in the FFVI instruction booklet for the then titled Final Fantasy III on the Super Nintendo, and there was a lot greater variety to the characters. Like Gau isn't androgynous or bishi. Sabin(Mash) is muscular in the extreme, to the point of looking dopey in one art and then looking somewhat rough but debonair on the same page. Locke is as close as a Final Fantasy character gets to being androgynous until the playstation era, really.

Dude. FFVI was only the third FF game stateside. That's only 2 games in the US not being initially released with Amano artwork. And the Playstation Era was literally the next game after that.

You're also leaving out all the bishi guys with long-flowing ponytails: Edgar, Setzer, and Kefka. Also, the character portraits in-game used the Amano art and Locke's subsequent appearances in 3D are based off his Amano art.
